Timber Hitch

Animated Timber Hitch

  • Used to attach a rope to a log, or where security is not an issue. This knot tightens under strain, but comes undone extremely easily when the rope is slack.
     
  • Wrap the rope around the log, then pass the running end around the standing part of the rope. Finally twist the running end around itself three or four times. (Note: this is only shown twice above.)
     
  • Tip: Very useful for dragging logs back to the camp fire!
